From June to September is whale watching season for humpback whales. The Palm Island/Orpheus Island area can be a hot spot for mothers and calves to rest. Young juveniles learn and show off their new skills on how to breach/jump and have fun in the flat waters around the Islands. They offer a 4-5 hour tour around the Islands stopping and spending time with each whale they see. The tour also also visits Yanks Jetty which is fully covered with picnic tables, a swimming platform, located on Orpheus Island. Enjoy lunch and the chance of a quick snorkel to see the beautiful coral gardens and hundreds of tropical fish surrounding the jetty. Toilets are located at the beach campgrounds.
